About Me

I am currently a 6th grade math teacher. Although I work with ages 11-16 right now, I love working with younger students who are struggling with foundational skills, and older students who are trying to refine their math craft. I'm very patient and thorough when it comes to my learners, I like to make sure that every concept is fully understood before moving on, and I often like to do quick flashbacks to make sure nothing has been forgotten. I tend to individual needs very well seeing as how I am used to dealing with 20 individuals at a time who all need different things. Outside of school I love to read, travel, and explore new places with my friends. I look forward to working with different people and ensuring that they meet their math goals!

Q&A with Deveney

My teaching philosophy is similar to that of sports: you can't get better without practice. Of course some people are born with talent, but most of us have to work hard over and over at something to get to where we want to be, and as a teacher I ensure that the work is meaningful and useful.
